E. E. BITTLES, V. S.,
[p. 943] proprietor of a large veterinary hospital which is situated at
No. 119 East North Street, New Castle, is a very prominent member of his
profession, as well as a highly valued and public-spirited citizen. He
was born in 1863, in Erie County, Pennsylvania.
Dr. Bittles obtained his literary education at Waterford, in Erie
County. From boyhood, his tastes had led him to care for dumb brutes and
to feel sympathy for their sufferings, and when he grew to maturity he
decided to direct his further studies along the lines of veterinary
science. In 1888 he entered the great veterinary college at Toronto,
Canada, and after completing his course in 1890, located for practice at
Greenville, Pa. For three years he was with the firm of Weir Bros., and
then went to Union City where he practiced until 1895, when he came to
New Castle. Here he found much demand for his skill, and in order to
accommodate the animals entrusted to his care in 1901 he found it
necessary to provide a hospital. He secured a building on North Street,
one block from the postoffice, three stories in height and 30x45 feet in
dimensions. This he has equipped with all modern sanitary appliances and
inventions and has provided here everything for the care, comfort and
relief of dumb brutes. His heart is in his work, and the demand for his
services extend all over the country where valuable animals or domestic
pets are in need of a degree of scientific treatment.
In 1890 Dr. Bittles was married to Miss Belle Hammond, who belongs to
one of the old families of Erie County. Dr. and Mrs. Bittles are members
of the Pittsburg Street United Presbyterian Church.
